The permanent organization Of hcpupHcah
Clubs is Of the highest Importance. h'plc-
scn)ing the people these organizations have
power TO influence the people; largely con
trollcd by Young men, they arc able to reach
new voters large distinction; these clubs
viii work for the Republican cause. There
arc plenty Of men already at work for the nom
nation Of fayontcS. and for the election Of
faVoIitcs when nominated. Eut the life Of 4
party is in the men who work for its principles,
and strive to commend them to popular ap-
proval, without regard to the choice Of candl-
dates.
The strongest candidates are those for whose
nomination no "Work' by political machinery
Of any kind is needed. Such men are first pre-
fcrrcd BY the earnest adhcrcnts Of certain
principles because they advocate them power
fully and represent more closely than other
persons tho wishes Of sincere and earnest
adhcrcnts. When this popular preference
comes to be felt, politicians bring their support
to the men who are first made strong by their
services to a cause, and by public appreciation
Of those services. Men who are chosen leaders
because they really lead have the only right
divine Candidates by machinery, candidates
by compromise are always weak in comparison
with the men who cmbody in living and potent
personalities the wishes thoughts and instincts
Of the Nation.
These things being true, it follows that the
best and most lasting results come from the
grand work Of those who labor, not for the
advancement Of individuals but for the spread
Of sound principles. The club which wins CON
4. fen; .,pI A..
right convictions the young men who are COM
ing Of age makes the party strong, full Of life,
and able to choose candidates intclgcntly and
with success. The persons or clubs which
spend their existence in promoting the selection
Of candidates are always limited and often mis-
taken in their influence, and that influence is
generally shor-livcd.
There is another distinction which needs to
be recognized. In many localities there ara
found active politicians who have como to
rely upon methods and agencies which are not
the best. If they do not rely upon direct
bribery Of votcrs-and there are unhappiiy
some who do-such local managers much more
frequently count upon influence" Of saloons,
or social organizations, or employers Of labor
upon devices and tricks, imposing displays,
monster paradcs, campaign yarns, torchight
marchinGs and brass bands. These things
sometimes get votes, but never win voters.
They catch floating votes for the day, but add
nothing to the permanent strength Of party.
Instead Of these things, party which means to
live and rule must put most Of its energy into
the information and education Of voters, into
patient and thorough work to win them per-
mancntiy TO a conscientious and hearty sup

The contest appears to grow in bitterness every

THE LOUISIANA FETU,

We directed attention some time ago to the
warfare between the factions Of the Democracy
in Louisiana. Governor McEncry is a cand-
date for reelection. and is supported by SEN
atOr Eustis and most Of the machine leaders on
the ground that he can be trusted upon the
great issue Of white supremacy Ex-Governor
Nichols is opposed by them because they
doubt his sOundncss on that question. Tho
Ncw-OIlcans Pcayunc," which favOrs Nichols,
says that Governor McEncry has taken the
position that the maintenance Of the suprcm-
acy of the white race in Louisiana is impOs-
siblc, unless the cOlorcd citizens Of the State
are denied the enjoyment Of the civil rights
guaranteed them by the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution Of
this State" The same paper declared
that Ex-Governor Nichols is opposed on the
ground that he "would not be 4 safe Governor
because he is not bulldozcr"
The issue being thus plainly stated upon the
best Democratic authority, it is interesting to
see how the fight goes on. The convention to
make the nomination meets in January; the

With the exception of a National Convention.
probably no gathering Of Republicans that has
taken place has contained within it greater
possibilities for good as affecting the party
throughout the Union than the convention OF
Republican clubs which assemblies to-day. by
udicous mana gcmcnt this conference may
exert lasting influence and bring incalcuablc
benefit upon the Republican organization. The
lines upon which it is to be conducted have
been clearly marked out. The convention is
not to voice the claims or vent the grievances
of any man or any faction. Neither is it to
he general debating society. The main
work will have to be done in committee. The
spirit which led to the calling Of the convcn-
ton will doubtless be that animating the major
ity of the delegates, and the prospects for
an orderly woodworking and really helpful
convention are extremely good. Especially
gratifying is il that the Southern States arc to
be well represented. That Republican clubs
flourish there as similar organizations do III
the North, East and West is an encouraging
sign of the times.

among the men who will gather in Syracuse

in this State. The results Of the conference
are certain to be felt in whatever action is
